Video: How your baby’s development benefits from skin-to-skin

Skin-to-skin or ‘kangaroo care’ is one of the best things that you can do for your baby.

Simply place your newborn on your bare chest as soon as possible after birth. It is also possible to practice skin-to-skin or ‘kangaroo care’ if you have had a c-section (whether emergency or elective) and baby is well.

Moms, you can include dad by having him do skin-to-skin with your newborn as well.

Paediatric Nutritionist and Pampers Institute Member, Claire McHugh, explains the benefits this has for your baby’s development.
